Field of Dreams
U-M’s iconic Elbel Field, home to U-M’s iconic Michigan Marching Band (MMB) has moved! To be clear, the field hasn’t really moved, but the band has taken its gear to a new location within marching distance of its former home. Anyone looking to catch an outdoor practice can find the MMB at the site once owned by Fingerle Lumber, across Hill Street and north of the original Elbel. And while the field may have changed, the dream remains the same. These photos come courtesy of Michigan Marching Band Photography.
